Project 10073 Record Card and Teletype Report — 17 June 1952

This document consists of a Project 10073 record card and a subsequent teletype report regarding an aerial sighting that occurred on June 17, 1952, in the vicinity of Lansing, Michigan. The report, originating from HQ Tenth Air Force at Selfridge Air Force Base, describes an observation of five to six circular, metallic gold objects. The objects were reported to be in level flight, moving from a southeast to northwest direction. The report notes that the speed was 'very rapid' and deemed unsustainable by conventional aircraft, though not accurately determined. The duration of the sighting was approximately 10 seconds. Weather conditions were reported as clear with 15-mile visibility. The report explicitly states that there was no sound associated with the objects. The document notes that four F-94 aircraft from the 61st Fighter-Interceptor Squadron were flying in the area at the time of the sighting at an altitude of 25,000 feet. The Air Technical Intelligence Center (ATIC) ultimately evaluated the sighting as being caused by these F-94 aircraft.
